My Life...or something like it
A while ago, my parents told me that I needed to get a job...or basically told me in a nice way that I need to grow up and stop cleaning out their wallets. So the hunt went on. I applied to Target and Gap, oh yeah and Movies 8 about 8 or 9 times. Then one day, a lady in my ward asked me if I was looking for a job, and when I said that I was, she asked me to watch her kids almost everyday in the summer while she went to work. I said yes..
I admit, this is how I get the internet, great kid movies, and a free science lesson everyday (or just about everyday) of my life! The two kids I watch are Hunter and Dessa. Hunter is 11 and Dessa is 9. They are great kids. I really like to watch them. So, that is my explaination on why I agreed to watch them during the school year from about 3-6 everyday.
Dessa and I have good "girl talk" considering the fact that my only sister is 16 years younger than me so I don't get to talk "girl talk" with her yet. One week during the summer, Hunter went to a fencing (yes I said fencing) camp. Dessa and I were here alone and lets just say I lived up the past 17 years of not having a sister with her. We did manicures, facials with cucumbers, talked about boys and dumb girls, and watched just about every Hillary Duff movie ever made. But the best was planning our future weddings, including the colors and flowers for each season. Example, we came the conclusion that if either of us are married in the winter, silver would for sure be in the color scheme and roses would be part of our bouqet's. It was a blast.
But then the next week, Dessa went to a girl scout camp and then there was Hunter and I. That is where my free science lessons come in. I learned and was reinformed about magnets, rockets, anything dealing with engineering, and how to make the perfect airplane or spacecraft out of legos. Normally, I don't like scientific stuff like that, but I do have to say that I came home everyday just a little smarter. On top of that, I got my lesson on playing Zelda and Pokemon.
Honestly, I can't think of a better way to spend my summer days.
I am now sitting at their computer, after helping Dessa practice her piano and listening to Hunter tell me that his homework is going very very very very very very very slowly. If I were at home, I would be cleaning my room, or watching King of the Hill. (Good thing I am here!)

For the record, I am hating my Senior year. I am too stressed out, I try out for awards and I don't get them, I sit in the exact same spot I did last year in orchestra, I have headaches the size of Moscow, I didn't go to Homecoming, no one listens to me as an editor, I wake up early so I can go to seminary resulting me to fall asleep in my psychology class, I realized that I have been in competition with one my best friends since 8th grade, the boy I like and thought he liked me just got a girlfriend, Constatine got voted off American Idol early (I still am suffering withdrawls from it), Jake Gyllenhall plays a gay cowboy in his new movie, my room is a pit, I get worried about college, I am way behind on my payment for tour, the people in my ceramics class make me want to eat clay and then jump off the school roof, my sequined shoes are falling apart, I am freezing, my principle is a Jack, I got a ticket to the Howie Day concert (5th row!) and ended up having to go to Youth Conference instead, and my hair looks like crap everyday! Wow, I think that was the longest sentence of complaints I have every written.
But there are some pros to being a senior this year: I tried susi for the first time and loved it, my friends and I are going to Disney Land for music tour this year, I am so excited for Thankgiving break that I could pee my pants, I got a car, Cameron called me back, I decided that it would be basically amazing to be an optomitrist, I am wondering if my orchestra teacher's son is gay or just a Democrat, Brady Garret is in my seminary class, I can lift 200 pounds with my legs, my friend will be home from Malaysia in less than a year, I found some resonably priced "work-it boots", the Harry Potter movie is out, 2 of my aunts are going to have babies, I am in a Mariachi band (how amazing is that?), there has been 2 streakers at my school, I went to PF Changs with Andy (looks just like Andy Roddick!), some of us went to IHOP at 10:30 at night with sunglasses on and only ordering orange freezes, my mom agreeing to let me redo my bedroom anyway that I want, and I got to see Dustin do his old man walk across the stage of my high school's production of Beauty and the Beast. So, I guess my senior year hasn't been t
hat bad.So, I that pretty much is my life...or somthing like it.
